It's been pretty quiet thus far, but the action figures to heat up with the beginning of the unrestricted free agency period that opens shortly.

What we have at this point are a few cuts. Releasing The Donalds-- Butler and Brown-- frees up a good chunk of cap space to help shore up the numerous gaping roster holes that currently exist.

Whatever help Tom Telesco secures during free agency will allow him to be less dependent on the draft, so we'll be paying close attention to how any pre-draft acquisitions figure to impact strategy on Draft Day.

Other possible moves to create cap space:

Will Mike Scifres (and his roughly $3 mil cap hit) be released in favor of a younger player who costs 70% less?

Will $5 mil (or so) of cap space be invested in retaining an aging Antonio Gates (likely, I'd say), or will that dough be directed to a different need?

It makes sense to me that Telesco would seek to fill the club's need for a fullback and blocking tight end(s)-- role players-- via free agency, and save the team's draft selections to acquire players who'd figure to see more snaps.

I'm also expecting at least one major FA signing, although in prior years, Tom Telesco has said there were free agents he'd aggressively pursue (Ndomiikan Suh, Greg Hardy) that he never even got a realistic sniff at.

So this is a thread to predict what will happen in these offseason arenas, and to comment on what DOES happen.

Hard to get excited about FA this year. They had last year to get it fixed and went backwards markedly. They better get the lines fixed regardless and if McCoy can't coach them up he gets the boot and Telesco goes on the hot seat.

Glasgow was one of the Day 1 stars on the practice fields of the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Florida. "He was the guy who really stood out to me," Mayock said. "It's a strong year for centers, but he looks like an NFL starter. Very strong. He could compete at the Senior Bowl." NFL Media postulates that Glasgow "could move up to mid-round status as the draft process continues." He has a big fan in Wolverine coach Jim Harbaugh. "Graham Glasgow, what an amazing player," Harbaugh gushed. "He could be a first-round pick, the way he played, the way he's played all year."

Glasgow showed a quick snap-and-step first move with the body control and base to hold his ground in pass protection. As a run blocker, he showed range up and down the line of scrimmage, breaking down on the move and using his hands to overwhelm defenders. Glasgow has terrific awareness to advance his eyes to the second level, finding his next victim to peel, stack and create running room between the hashes. His draft arrow is definitely pointing north.

Michigan center/guard Graham Glasgow was one of the stars of the East-West Shrine, and he had a respectable first day at the Senior Bowl. He split one-on-one pass-rushing reps with Louisville defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. When Rankins used a speed rush to try to run by Glasgow, the Wolverine just pummeled him into the turf with authority. On the rematch, Rankins burned Glasgow with a spin move. Still, it is impressive for a center to be able to block a defensive tackle in one-on-ones as centers are typically helping to execute a double team on a sub-package interior rusher. Glasgow is having a tremendous postseason to set his draft stock on fire.

A good contrast could be seen in Missouri center/guard Evan Boehm. He was absolutely abused by Rankins with a speed rush. Alabama's Jarran Reed overwhelmed Boehm with power, and he was incapable of keeping Reed from charging down the pocket. Boehm really struggled in his first Senior Bowl practice.

Notre Dame center Nick Martin had an impressive day. He stood up two bull rushes from Penn State defensive tackle Austin Johnson. Martin did well in other reps and in the team scrimmage. With the exception of Michigan's Graham Glasgow, Martin has more power in his base than the other center prospects in Mobile.

There were some fun battles to watch between Michigan center Graham Glasgow and Alabama defensive tackle Jarran Reed. It was very impressive that Glasgow could go head-to-head and get wins with Reed because many centers would need guard help to block Reed. Glasgow held up Reed on a bull rush on one rep long enough for the quarterback to get a pass out. Reed got the better of Glasgow on a spin move and on a bull rush, but Glasgow came back to earn a few draws after giving up some initial push.

Glasgow has had a phenomenal two weeks to really put his draft stock on the map. He looks like a second-day talent in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-6, 306-pound Glasgow was one of the stars of the East-West Shrine, and Glasgow kept up the strong play the Senior Bowl. He was one of the only centers who could win one-on-ones with some of the top interior defensive talents like Alabama's Jarran Reed. Glasgow was consistent throughout the week. He held his won in the pass-rushing one-on-ones and looked very good in the team scrimmage sessions. With his size, Glasgow could compete at guard or center in the NFL.

Glasgow's huge all-star game performances puts him in the thick of the top center competition with other players like Alabama's Ryan Kelly, Notre Dame's Zack Martin, and USC's Max Tuerk.

The red section in the old sheet references 10yd split / Shuttle / 3cone but the new one references 10yd split / 3cone / Broad jump

The blue section in the old sheet references "Twitch" but the new formula looks at "Speed 10"

I copied one of your spreadsheets from an earlier year (2014 I think) and input a few players from this year into that sheet before you did this and there are a few differences. For example, Bosa and Calhoun came out as Low-Risk 1 (Twitch <1.10 & 3-cone <7.0)
